#31DC2014 - Day 1 - RED nails

Hiya everyone! It's the first of September, and that means it's 31-Day Challenge time! Two years ago I started this blog off with this challenge, and now I'm doing it again. This time I'm doing it at the same time many other bloggers do it, and I'm also going to try and keep up the pace. That's right--I'll be doing a new mani every day this month! At least, that's the goal.

Day 1 of the challenge is all about the colour red. I chose a classic, pinup-inspired look, with a bit of a twist.

I've applied French tips with this glorious red we all know and love--China Glaze Ruby Pumps. A deep red jelly with a beautiful glowing shimmer, it's opaque in two coats and looks great on absolutely every skin tone and nail length!

The white dots are done with a dotting tool and white acrylic paint, and the studs on the accent nail are from Born Pretty Store.

What you lookin' at?

Hello, I'm Amanda! Welcome to my blog. I love art and painting, and nail colour/design has always been a passion of mine! I'm not a professional, just an enthusiastic hobbyist. By trade, I'm a full-time nerd-for-hire ("the IT guy", if you will). I also spend a lot of time playing Xbox, dancing, and drinking beer. Those things are all fun, but doing them with fabulous blingy nails makes it even better! xoxo
